NRW Holdings Limited has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary NRW Civil & Mining has secured a contract from Rio Tinto for works at the Brockman Syncline 1 mine in Western Australia.
The $167 million contract involves construction of earthworks, roadworks and drainage associated with the primary crusher, overland conveyor and non-process infrastructure. NRW Civil & Mining will also be responsible for the construction of haul roads, access roads and concrete structures.
“NRW is pleases to be awarded this project with one of the world’s leading mining companies. This is another significant project that NRW will undertake for Rio Tinto and continues to build on the longstanding relationship of delivering successful projects together,” NRW said in a statement.
The scope of works will include drill and blast as well as the supply and construction of the mechanically stabilised earth ROM wall, two precast concrete overpass tunnels and in-situ concrete foundations for the primary crusher.
NRW is estimating a peak workforce of more than 300 people for this project.
The Brockman Syncline 1 mine is located in the Pilbara region, near other NRW construction sites such as the Brockman 4 to Brockman 2 Haul Road project and the recently completed Western Turner Northern Access Road.
